She has arrived - my greatly anticipated wee apron-wearing doll! She was created for me by Holly Morrison in trade for a special order 50's cover-up apron. I can't remember whose idea it was initially but I jumped in with both feet, excited about the prospect of owning one of her miniature creations.Holly requested fabric featuring crows and at the time (fall and Halloween) crow fabric was abundant but most choices had the added extra bonus of jack-o-lanterns and lots of purple and definitely not what Holly was imagining in an apron. I embarked upon an internet search for crow fabric and was lucky to find someone selling discontinued yardage of an amazing fabric covered with crows in tones of deep brown and tawny, which I thought perfect for Holly and her apron. The fabric was ordered, delivered and made into her apron. Holly has her apron and I have my market muse.
I've named her Clara and she will accompany me to my markets and fairs, bringing me good luck, good customers and good business.
Thanks, Holly!

Wow! What a treat! And here I was, just lamenting to myself that I'd forgotten to capture her image before I released her to her new adventures... problem solved!
I love my crow apron and I'm so glad you are enjoying Clara. She was really fun to make-- that tiny apron WAS a bit of a challenge, though! ;-)
